Players who played for the Russian team Winstrike unilaterally terminate cooperation with this cybersports organization due to the fact that it systematically violated contractual obligations. This was announced on Wednesday by the team's coach Dmitry «hooch» Bogdanov. The players will serve as ex-Winstrike as a temporary option, but expect to find another organization interested in working with them soon. For now, the former team members consider themselves free agents.
Winstrike has been competing in CS: GO since June 2018. Its best performance of all time has been in recent weeks, following the addition of two former HardLegion members to its lineup. Since February, the team has been in the top 30 of the world ranking, and recently moved up to 22nd place.
The team, now as ex-Winstrike, will play its next match on Saturday – against LDLC in the Funspark ULTI Europe Regional Series 1 group tournament. The leadership of the cybersports organization has not yet commented on the players' statement. In his post published on Twitter, Dmitry Bogdanov said that he did not want to speak publicly about the details of the conflict and publicize its specific causes for the time being.
